Deep Linking field

Archived

Hi,

I am implementing deep linking for a channel. I saw in the documentation
http://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/ … inaChannel

that I need to add a piece of code to make it work.
The problem is, on the “Partner Guide to Integration into Roku Search” I saw the field should be PlayID, while in the sdkdocs I see the field should be contentID,

Which one should I use?

contentID is the correct value to use for Global Search and Roku home screen ads. If you’re not implementing for either one of those, you can use any parameter names you want.

Thank you very much for the reply.

If it helps heres a small code snippet of mine, and it works fine for me

Sub RunUserInterface(Args as Dynamic)

...startup code, splash screen, initializing data, tables, arrays, and so on...

if (Args<>Invalid and Args.contentID<>Invalid) ' Probably overkill to do both checks, but works
		Episode=m.Tables.Episodes.Records[Args.contentID]
		if Episode<>Invalid ShowVideoScreen(Episode, false)
	end if
    
	ShowMovieScreen("Main", "") ' This is my main screen
      
End Sub
